Like many figures from Greek mythology, Teiresias was gifted with inhuman longevity. According to legend, he was said to have lived for around seven generations. In addition, some accounts tell that Teiresias lived as both a man and a woman. Perhaps his most well known trait was that, though he was physically blind, Teiresias had the ability to foresee the future, even in death.

Teiresias was a blind prophet/seer from Thebes.  Many stories created theories that account for his blindness. Apparently, he saw Athena bathing, which caused him to be blind. Athena felt sorry for him, because she couldn't restore his blindness,  so she granted him with prophecy. From this power that Athena granted him, he was able to understand birds. Another theory is that Teiresias came across mating snakes and killed the female, turning him into a woman. Years later, he stumbled upon two mating snakes again. He killed the male snake this time, turning him back into a man. Because he had lived in both genders, Zeus and Hera asked which one he enjoyed being more. He said that he enjoyed being male more, agreeing with Zeus, so Hera afflicted him with blindness. Zeus empathized for Teiresias, giving him an extended life period and the ability to envision future events.
